Whenever I'm home, my 'kid' follows me EVERYWHERE. If I go outside, he goes outside. If I'm working in the garage, he goes into the garage.

Its not a bad thing, but its funny because the minute I decide to sit next to him, he will get up and walk away, lol.

The only place he doesn't go is upstairs, because its about 8-10 degrees warmer up there and he doesn't like that heat.

Yup. Mine is my shadow.

Same with my dog.

You are attractive to him, like a predator is attracted to prey. So when you try to touch him or approach him, it throws him off balance. Same with my dog most of the time, not always though.

This can very much come in handy with training and bonding if you utilize it strategically.

Hey...Ami has a twin

He is our shadow, right up until you try to sit beside him then he bounces up and goes in the other room Husband gets offended at times - particularly when Ami seems to be inviting a belly rbu....we start rubbing his belly from a standing position, then to get more comfortable, sit down beside him. Up he bounces and into the other room, lies down...

Make one wonder "did I forget to use deodarant today?"

I call Loki, Velcro-dog. He is everywhere that I am. He even jumped into the shower with me a few weeks ago. But, like you said, I go to sit down by him, sometimes he gets up and moves a little out of reach.

These guys sure do have an interesting personality.

I recently installed a dog door and a dog run (the door opens into the dog run) at my new house.

Before I had the dog door, he would cry if I left him outside.

Now that I have the dog door, it seems he would prefer sleeping outside! Lol!

We installed a door bell.  Now Ami rings it when he wants us to come out and play   many nights, I think he would prefer to sleep outside... sometimes I have to leash him to get him IN the house.  When Archer is here, he rings to come in the house, Ami rings to get Archer to come back out.  They stand in the doorway... you come in, no, you come out.  Then my ears ring as husbands hollarrs "shut the f#$$% door".

So it sounds like your boy fits right in

That is so funny... never thought I'd see Ami do that, but this morning I went in to tell Wayne his breakfast was ready and Ami followed right in... and got extra super friendly with Wayne, trying ng to get all those soap suds off. Which led to the big boy getting booted out, pronto

I wish mine were like that outside....They both follow me around the house, but outside, I am always worried that Sinatra will get out of our yard (I am paranoid as he has escaped a few times). Going to start wearing a meat scented perfume outside to keep him beside me!!! JK
